Sweet! Been waiting on this one a while. I hope one is like a solid neon orange with purple streaks or splatter, that would like sick!

yeah, theres definitely no way he could have actually obtained it through legitimate means

Aaron B. Turner said...

well, i actually did obtain the converge album legitimately. this due to the fact that hydra head released records by converge in the past and i also did album and t shirt art for them on numerous occasions....
...so there!

The Jodis album is incredible I can't stop listening to it. I hardly recognize the vocalist I first heard on Panopticon those years ago. Your skill and confidence as a vocalist has evolved so much in such a short amount of time. Secret House is really a testament to your skill as vocalist and as a musician in general. Congratulations on achieving artistic excellence!

Nice work Aaron love the concept and the composition. Also like the way your sticking with hand drawn fonts makes it feel alot more significant.


Thanks again,
Oliver

the colors in this layout are strikingly awesome and mezmerizing! I love how bold it is.... thanks for the constant inspiration.

not that this is related at all either, but on a sidenote I just wanted to thank you for all of your music with ISIS over the years as well. the past 4 months life has been an isolated hell on earth as i've been trying to get on positively after a disasterous breakup with my ex of 8 years. i woke up crying this morning on the verge of yet another anxiety attack after i had another dream about walking endlessly out into the ocean and drowning (it's been recurring). my first thought to calm myself was to play 'Oceanic' and as always it did the trick. that album in particular has gotten me through alot of these really heavy times and I sincerely appreciate you and your band creating it. your music is therapeautic for me and has the uncanny ability to help me forget myself and find peace. thank you.

i wish you and faith all the best and an incredibly happy life together. :)
